Researchers noted that about half of all species of bacteria contain small segments of DNA of about 20-50 base pairs derived fro

m plasmids or viruses. The phrase clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) describes the organization of these viral DNA segments in the bacterial genome. Bacteria use CRISPR to: (Select all that apply.)

identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with RNA.

transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.

The correct answers are:  

• transcribe RNA that combines with a protein that has a DNA-cleaving function.  

• identify viral DNA by complementary base pairing with template DNA.

CRISPR is a DNA sequence found in bacteria (or other prokaryotic cell), derived from DNA fragments from viruses that have previously infected that bacteria. Bacteria use CRISPR to destroy DNA from next similar viruses. So, it is form of antiviral defense in bacteria.

Cas9  is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease enzyme (DNA-cleaving function) associated with the CRISPR that cleave specific sequences of DNA complementary to the CRISPR sequence.

Why can the same trna and rrna molecules be used to synthesize a wide variety of polypeptides
Drupady [299]

Answer: The transcription and translation process allows trna and rrna molecules to be used to synthesize wide variety of polypeptides.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of information for coding proteins. This information is passed on the mRNA during a process known as transcription. Transcription is the first of many steps of DNA based gene expression in which a part of the segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During the process of transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which gives a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand referred to as a primary transcript.

A large diversity among genes is followed by a large amount of various mRNA molecules. However, the ribosomes consist of rRNA, which is included in the process of translation. Translation is the process whereby ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus. The overall process is called gene expression.

The smallest of the three types of RNA is tRNA, which has only 75 to 95 nucleotides and has a role in bringing particular amino acids to the growing polypeptide. It can be concluded that mRNA contribute to the diversity of polypeptide molecules due to the fact that it carries an information about their synthesis.

How does having a diverse gene pool help a species survive
timurjin [86]
So that there is more gene variation. Let's say if they all had the same genes, one specific disease would be fatal for the species' existence since they would all be the same. The diverse gene pool allows species to develop different characteristics that can help them defend against disease

Which of the following methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world?
dangina [55]

Decrease resource use methods might be used to decrease the rate of approach to carrying capacity by the developed world

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carrying capacity is the greatest quantity of people of a supplied species that an area's sources can support frequently without significantly spending or diminishing those resources. For communities which increase exponentially, growth begins gradually, starts a fast maturity phase and then straightens off when the carrying capacity for that species has been touched.

The proportion of the population then shifts somewhat above or below the carrying capacity. Reproductive lag time may produce the population to exceed the carrying capacity temporarily. The carrying capacity may be reduced by resource leveling and disgrace during an overshoot period or spread through technological and social changes.
